Abel planned to use this time to strengthen his strength. First of all, in terms of weapons. If he had a long-range weapon, he would be able to attack the werewolf from a distance. He would also be able to stop the werewolf from approaching from a distance. At the very least, he would be able to slow down the werewolf.
Abel had thought a lot about long-range weapons. Abel had also done some research on bows and arrows in this world, but he wanted to make the 70-pound composite bow that he used on Earth.
The advantage of this composite bow was that with an 80% labor-saving ratio, you only needed 14 pounds of tension to keep the bow fully drawn (70 × (1-80%) = 14). This way, the user could divert his attention from drawing the bow and focus on aiming and adjusting his posture.
With a 60% labor-saving ratio, 28 pounds of tension was needed to keep the bow fully drawn. This way, the bow would have more energy stored, and the arrow would be shot faster.
For these two conditions, the user could choose the labor-saving ratio of the composite bow, and adjust the labor-saving ratio according to the actual situation.
Abel now had a very deep memory of the past due to his strong power of the will. Abel remembered all the components of the composite bow, as well as the dimensions of each component.
The composite bow was composed of the falling wheel, the driving wheel, the upper and lower bow arms, the bow handle, the bow arm base, the bowstring slide, the bowstring shock absorber, the arrow rest, the handle, the main string, the auxiliary string, the shock absorber, the string stopper, and so on. Together with the arrow rest, arrow rest, sight, distributor, shock absorber, peephole, and wrist rope, it formed a complete modern composite bow.
Although the standard of this world was limited, the strength of the people in this world was much greater than that of the people on Earth. At least, Abel had never heard of anyone who could split a man and a horse in half with a sword in the original world. And this was when the Knight Marshall was only an intermediate knight. Abel could not imagine what kind of strength a more advanced Knight could have.
Now, Abel's strength was stronger than most people on Earth, and he was only 13 years old. Abel estimated his strength to be more than 400 pounds. When he was on Earth, as a fitness instructor, he could only draw a 70-pound composite bow. He could not draw a stronger one.
Therefore, although the materials for the composite bow could not be found in this world, the strength of the people in this world was much stronger. Especially for Abel himself, the composite bow was made for his own use, so he could replace it with something stronger. There was no need to worry about weight.
Abel made drawings of all the components one by one, labeled the dimensions, and considered what materials to use.
As for the following and power wheels, Abel considered using bearings to support the rotation of the two wheels. This would reduce the friction coefficient during the movement and ensure the rotation accuracy of the two wheels. The two wheels would be made of 100 skills rough blanks.
Abel was not going to make the upper and lower bowarm himself, because it would take too much time. His idea was very simple, he would go and dismantle two heavy bows. Heavy bows took a long time to make, and the materials used were the best. Abel knew that there were a few 200-pound heavy bows in the warehouse, which were the strongest bows in the castle. However, very few people used those bows because there were not many people who could draw them. Only those who were level four and above could draw them. However, drawing the bow and aiming were two different things. After drawing the bow and maintaining the same strength to aim, the user's strength would have to be at least 300 pounds, or even higher, to ensure that there was enough strength to use the heavy bow.
Therefore, the heavy bows were kept in the warehouse and rarely used. Only the weapons keeper in the warehouse would do some daily maintenance. Abel thought that if he dismantled the two heavy bows, he would have a bow arm and two bowstrings.
Both the upper and lower bow arms used the bow arms of a heavy bow. Moreover, the bow arms of two heavy bows were glued together, thus obtaining a bow arm that was stronger than a heavy bow.
The shock absorber, the shock absorber, and the string stopper were all made of wood, while the bow handle and arrow rest were made of rough billets.
After planning everything, Abel began to make the composite bow. The two heavy bows were found by Abel from the warehouse, and he also found a bow maker. Abel did not have the confidence to make a qualified bow arm, because the bow arm was the main source of strength of the composite bow, and also the guarantee of the bow's power. Abel believed that it was better to find a professional than to slowly fail again and again.
The bow maker very painfully dismantled the two heavy bows, and then according to the blueprint provided by Abel, cut them to the size required by Abel, and then glued the two bow arms together with fish skin glue. The final product was very satisfactory to Abel.
As for the shock absorber, the shock absorber, and the string stopper, Abel found a carpenter, and under Abel's guidance, they also met Abel's requirements.
Slowly, the parts were almost ready, and the final bearing could only be made by Abel himself.
It could be said that the bearing was the most important part of mechanical equipment on Earth, and it was very difficult to make. The bearing was composed of an inner ring, a ball, and an outer ring. There was a raceway between the inner ring and the outer ring, and the ball rolling between the inner ring and the outer ring.
Abel first made the ball rolling. With the current technology, it was very difficult to make ball rolling, because there was no industrial machine, and it was all done by hand. As a blacksmith master, Abel was also very stressed.
He first made a vernier caliper, and then slowly forged small pieces of iron with a hammer. After forging them into a round shape, he constantly measured with the caliper, and then forged again. Abel did not expect that it would take so much time to make a standard ball rolling. It took him half a day to make a small ball, and this ball was completely spherical in the vernier caliper's measurement.
After making the first ball rolling, Abel used a clay sand mold method. With clay and an appropriate amount of water as the main binder of the sand, he used the first ball rolling to make a sand mold of 30 balls.
Each bearing only needed 12 balls, but Abel wanted to make more backups. At first, he thought that the most troublesome thing was to turn iron into molten iron with charcoal, but after asking Master Bentham, he learned that there was a special natural fire additive in this world. If you want to turn iron into molten iron, you just need to add this natural fire additive in the heating process, and you can easily turn iron into molten iron.
Abel poured molten iron into the 30 ball rolling sand molds, waited for them to cool down, and took them out. After some polishing, he finally got the perfect ball rolling.
According to the size of the ball rolling, Abel calculated the size of the inner and outer rings, as well as the depth of the rolling path. With the help of Abel's power of the will, these fine forging processes were successfully completed.
The next step was to combine the inner and outer rings with the ball rolling, which was introduced in many physics lectures and documentaries. Abel took out some ice from the icehouse, put the inner ring in the ice, and put the outer ring in the furnace. After a while, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the inner ring, the ball rolling, and the outer ring could be locked together in order. When the temperature returned to normal, the bearing Abel wanted was made.
After pressing down on the bearing, the fallen wheel, and the power wheel were fixed, and step by step, Abel finally made the world's first composite bow.
Because this composite bow could not be empty, Abel put it away in the evening.
The next morning, after playing with Black Wind for a while, Abel took out 50 arrows from the warehouse and went to the archery range to test the new bow. Because this composite bow was too strange, Abel cleared the range.
He took out the first arrow, stuck it on the arrow stand, and pulled the trigger. Abel had never thought that this bow would require so much strength. The combined force of the two heavy bows was definitely more than 400 pounds. Abel almost used all of his strength to pull the bow open. When the bow was fully pulled open, he immediately felt that his strength was saved. He could keep the bow open as long as he used less than 100 pounds of strength.
Abel aimed the crosshair at the 50-meter target and gently pressed the trigger on the trigger. With a gentle twang of the bowstring, the arrow flew out. It hit the bullseye in a straight line at a distance of 50 meters in the air. After a round hole was made in the bullseye, the arrow continued to fly backwards until it hit the parapet 30 meters behind and fell to the ground.
The 50-meter target was the farthest target in the castle. Although Abel had tested that the composite bow could shoot and aim without any problems, he had not tested the farthest shooting range.
